//! Recovers Youtube's signature decipher program from the player script and applies it.
//!
//! The player states the decipher as one function over a character array, whose body is a sequence
//! of calls into a helper object holding exactly three primitive transformations: reversing the
//! array, dropping a prefix of it, and swapping the first character with one at an index. Those
//! primitives are what the whole program means, so recovering it is recovering that sequence.
